If you are a fan of books set in the lowcountry you will be thrilled to know Mary Alice Monroe has a new book being released in June!! Beach House for Rent is another book not to be missed!
Author Mary Alice Monroe has written another wonderful book
set in the lowcountry. I always learn surprising things about the nature around
us when I read her books, such as about birding, aquatic animals, and
protection of the sea turtles. In this latest book, Beach House for Rent,
new characters will stir our emotions. It is a new novel all on it’s own but with
lovely references to themes from some of her other books. I enjoyed the book so
much and it will be the perfect summer book for the beach! It was as if visiting with old friends to read
of Cara, Brett, Palmer, Flo, and quick visits with Mamaw Muir, and memories of
Lovie.

The beginning starts with Cara and Brett who are living in
his river home. They have had disappointments in not being able to have a child
of their own, but they have not faltered in their love for each other. Tragedy
strikes!
We meet Heather, a young woman from Charlotte, living with anxiety due to the accident which
killed her mother. Heather is renting the beach house for the summer so she can
work on a commission for US postage stamps. This is so interesting to learn how
the art is chosen for our postage stamps. Heather brings her three canaries… very cool!
The imagery for this novel is wonderful. I almost felt as it I could hear the waves and feel the sea breezes, and see the brown pelicans fly over. The emotions our
characters experience will leave you wanting to hug them and try to comfort
them at times. It is a story about dealing with grief, although not morbid. It
is encouraging in the way the characters learn to deal with the disappointments
and then to find that extra strength to start over, anew.
